Cook Macaroni

Cook the macaroni according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process and cool down the macaroni.

Prepare Vegetables

Chop the vegetables (such as bell peppers, carrots, celery, cucumbers, and red onions) into small, bite-sized pieces.

Mix Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, chopped vegetables, and diced ham.

Make Dressing

In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.

Combine and Chill

Pour the dressing over the macaroni mixture and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld.

Serve

Serve the salad chilled and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
